On the 15th of July 2026, I got a call again from ‘Emma,’ who claims to be my local energy advisor. I’ve had a bunch of calls from her before, and I can tell it’s the same voice every time. The odd thing is, the number always changes. Plus, it’s one of those voice-activated systems. I just fed it some rubbish replies, and it hung up in the end. Just a heads up, this is definitely a scam.

Watch out, it’s a scam! Never pick up or reply to calls, texts, or emails from numbers you don’t recognise. Do NOT let anyone record your voice - just search ‘voice cloning scams’ online to see why it’s risky. Make sure to report any dodgy calls or texts through the official police or Ofcom sites. You can text the phone number and details, even if it’s a silent call, to 7726. Follow the prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s spam blocking features to report. For suspicious texts, send them on to 7726 and mark them as spam too. Don’t forget to watch out for any replies asking you to confirm. If you get scam emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and use the phishing report option (often found via the three-dot menu). The more reports sent across all platforms, the better chance there is that the authorities will take notice and act. For more info, google 7726 and '[email protected]' to keep yourself protected.

I usually ignore calls from numbers I don’t recognise. So when the phone rang from an unknown number, I rejected it. Then straight away, a different number tried me, which I also declined. Next thing I know, a third number called, and I blocked that one too. After that, the whole thing happened all over again with the same three numbers ringing back one after the other. It felt like some sort of loop.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Vodafone and could give me half price off my contract. Thing is, I’m not even on a contract with them, so I reckon it’s just a load of nonsense trying to scam me.

Got a call from someone who knew my name and said I could get £800 compensation related to car finance. Told them I’ve never even done anything with car finance and they just hung up outta nowhere. Pretty suspicious if you ask me!

Got a call from someone claiming to be EE, but it was definitely a scam, best to ignore it.

I didn't pick up since it was an unknown number. They just hung up without leaving any message.

I got a call on my landline from 01887800935 at about 6.56 pm. It was a robotic female voice saying they had already called before about home improvements. This reminded me of another call I got on Monday at 2.09 pm from 01353700027 about the same thing. I'm registered with TPS and my number's unlisted, so I reckon someone’s passing my details on to dodgy callers.

Watch out, it’s a scam! Don’t ever reply to calls, texts or emails from numbers you don’t recognise. And never let anyone record your voice – search online for ‘voice cloning scams’ to see how dangerous it can be. Always report scam calls and texts to the police or Ofcom using their dedicated systems. You can text the number and details (even if it’s just silent calls) to 7726, then follow any prompts to confirm. Don't forget to also use your phone’s spam reporting tools for both calls and texts, forwarding suspicious messages to 7726 as well. Make sure you check for any replies because sometimes you’ll be asked to confirm details. For scam emails, forward them to [email protected] and use the phishing report feature in your email (usually found under the three dots in the top right). Reporting across all these channels helps alert the right people so action gets taken. If you want, just Google 7726 and the email address above for more info. Stay safe!

If you want to stop scams, make sure you REPORT THEM. There’s a post with more info a few down from here. BE CAREFUL: scammers often record your voice and use it to do voice cloning scams alongside their usual tricks to steal money from your bank. Look up 'voice cloning scams' and 'saying yes scams' on Google for news stories and police warnings about this scary AI tech. They only need about three seconds of your voice to copy it. So when you answer a call from a number you don’t recognise, don’t say anything except maybe a quick ‘hello’ sound. Just listen, then hang up and report the scam. Also, delete your own voicemail message, never ring back unknown numbers, and see who can listen to your voice messages on social networks. There’s tonnes of info online – these voice cloning and ‘saying yes’ scams are really dangerous!

They called and just wanted to know about our money situation with no explanation. When we said we had nothing, they just ended the call.

Didn’t get any voicemail so I just blocked it. If it was legit, surely they’d have said something on the answerphone.

Spotted this number just a couple hours back, and it's already been looked up 142 times with 5 folks warning it's definitely a scam. Totally a spam call, avoid it!

Make sure you report every scam call you get. Do a bit of research on 'voice cloning scams' to understand how crooks can use AI to copy your voice and what they might do with it. Think carefully about all the ways these fraudsters might grab your voice. Voice cloning is probably the worst scam we’ve faced, with thousands of people in the UK already caught out. Most won’t even realise they’re in trouble until it’s too late. Have a look at police advice and online info for more details. I just read the post about TPS. It’s pretty good and works as it’s meant to, but check their website yourself to see exactly what it covers and what it won’t. It won’t stop every scammer though, especially the clever ones out to steal from us.

I was busy in the kitchen so I just let the call go to voicemail. Nothing was left in the message, so I’m guessing it was probably just some annoying scam or spam caller.

Blocking numbers doesn't really help with all these scammers. They just ring you back from another phone, and the official crime stats never include these calls, so the fraudsters keep targeting vulnerable people and pestering the rest of us. When you get scam texts, just send them to 7726. You can find plenty of info by searching ‘7726’ and '[email protected]' online, make sure to read up on everything you find. Also, have a look into ‘voice cloning scams’ – scammers nowadays use AI and can mimic your voice with just a few seconds of recording. Be aware of all the ways they might record you and do what you can to stop it.

Not sure who called, so I didn't pick up. Since they didn’t leave a voicemail, I’m just gonna block the number.

It’s getting a bit scary how they still keep ringing me, using loads of different numbers every time. They just don’t seem to stop at all.

Picked up and the caller just went quiet before hanging up. Straight to block from me.

Absolute rubbish! Never ever reply to a call, text or email from an unknown number. Don’t let these con artists record your voice – look up 'voice cloning scams' to understand the risks. Always report scam attempts through the official channels like the police or Ofcom. You can text the number and details of suspicious calls (even silent ones) to 7726, and make sure to follow any prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam reporting to flag unwanted calls. For texts, forward them to 7726 and report them as spam on your messaging app. Sometimes they’ll ask you to confirm, so watch out for replies. Scam emails should be passed on to '[email protected]', plus report them via your email’s phishing report option – usually the three dots menu. These reports help authorities take action, so keep sending reports from every angle to help stop these crooks. Just google 7726 and '[email protected]' for a lot more info.

Beware of scams! Don’t ever reply to calls, texts or emails from numbers or addresses you don’t know. Never let anyone record your voice – there are scams where they clone it (search ‘voice cloning scams’ if you want to learn more). Always report scammy messages and calls through official channels like the police or Ofcom. If you get a dodgy call or silent call, text the number and details to 7726, and if it asks, reply again to confirm. Also, use your phone’s spam reporting feature. For scam texts, forward them to 7726 and use the spam report too, keep an eye out for any confirmation requests. Any suspicious emails? Forward them to [email protected] and report them with the phishing report option (usually under the three dots menu). These reports do get checked, but sending multiple ones from different places helps make sure the right people get alerted and can take action. Look up 7726 and [email protected] online for extra info. Stay safe!

I kept getting calls from this number and a few others that were close, just the last digits changed, over the span of a few days. The thing is, it says it’s a UK number but I'm getting these calls on my Czech phone?? From what I’ve seen, this number and the ones like it are all marked as scam or fraud. Just a heads up if you’re wondering!

Got this text from Three saying: "Missed call(s): 1 442038752959 (1) 2026-07-15 17:38 Tap 'call' to ring back." But there’s no record of it in my call history anywhere. Kinda strange, don't you think?

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent claiming she could cut down my O2 bill for a couple months. I just said cheers and ended the call. Honestly, if O2 had any real offer, I’d expect a proper message, so I’m not trusting this one.

Got a call again from what looked like a almost the same number, looks like another scam trying its luck.
